I am getting back into senior portraits, and I'm working on quick and easy set ups. I love the simplicity of this set up. 2 lights will be plenty when trying to work fast, and the gelled kicker really sets that shot apart in my opinion. Thanks for posting!

Your idea of wide , mid and tight on the same pose to get 3 different photos is genius. I have incorporated this into my shoots and it has made a world of difference. The clients love the options and it helps with up sales. Always great videos.

Hi Matt, could you add some specifics on the FJ400 settings for some of these? Love knowing the camera specifics but lighting settings add even more.

@WestcottLighting Thanks for a great video! QUESTION: I am new to fish photography and was just wondering why and how you get by with using such a low shutter of 1/60? When using flash - what do you use the shutter speed, the aperture and the ISO to control? Thanks in advance ;-)
@anthonytillman7276 11 ай бұрын
Love this video and everything it offers. I do have one question though. Can you please link the standard reflector with the magnetic CTO gel that was used for the second light in this video? Thanks
@WestcottLighting 11 ай бұрын
Thanks for watching! The reflector and gels are included with the FJ400 Strobe!

2:54min is a nice photo. However it looks not right (=natural) to me, since the sun is coming from behind and "artifical sun" is coming from camera right (and have different colors as well).
